Last week was a weird week (wait... have we been saying this every week for the past year?) Regardless, last week called for a serious challenge mid-week. I wrote up the original version of this for a local advanced client (who wanted to get in a workout but was mentally "done" because of Zoom meetings), but ended up testing it myself as well. The intensity is not for … [Read more...] about EMOM-A-Thon

Advanced Birthday Kettlebell Workout: 44!
Birthday Workout Challenges A birthday, especially one with a formidable number of years presents a great opportunity for a birthday workout to try and share. Lucky for you, my advanced client and I tested this out yesterday. I began with the preface of "pretty much after a certain point these are all going to be advanced challenges... at least this is an even-numbered year." … [Read more...] about Advanced Birthday Kettlebell Workout: 44!
Advanced Kettlebell Challenge Workout For 1/12/2020
Hinted at this one a little last week - then after a few more conversations with folks realized that I likely need to have another post really giving the ways that this kind of workout can be useful especially for those who are preparing to pass the RKC Snatch test. It solves just one piece of the puzzle but there are several important pieces that must be in place to … [Read more...] about Advanced Kettlebell Challenge Workout For 1/12/2020
Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Couldn't resist using this neat photo of the pyramid at the Louvre. Having recently become 41, I remember seeing this interesting structure during its construction (I was VERY young, maybe 7 or 8 at the time). The massive excavation was fascinating, and I would only see the completion of it many years later in the late 90s. "Oh, so that's how it turned out!" The sense of scale … [Read more...] about Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
(Another small group workout is coming soon, but I wanted to share another "getting the New Year started right" workout with you first! The workout written below is seen in it's "beta" form in my notebook above on the right side of the page... With handwriting that bad, maybe I should have been a doctor?!?) This workout certainly isn't for beginners, though with some … [Read more...] about Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
For whatever reason--even though much like RKC Team leader Paul Britt, I do not like running at all--I am sometimes compelled to work a lap around the track into the occasional workout. It's a funny thing, for all of my not liking to run and for a perceived "weak point" in terms of certain types of endurance, I've been told that I'm fairly fast for surprising distances. … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
This Workout REALLY Made Us Eat a BIG Dinner…
It was really "one of those weeks" last week and I used that as an excuse to justify shoving a sled around for what happened to be 3 days in a row (I didn't realize it until now...). Needless to say I was feeling very good in some respects for doing that, and was as always taking dinner very seriously. One of my advanced small group members was up for an extra "partner … [Read more...] about This Workout REALLY Made Us Eat a BIG Dinner…
Advanced Partner Workout – It’s Also Scaleable!
Admittedly, this advanced partner workout borders on just a little bit silly, but it is also a whole heck of a lot of fun. It works well for people who are fairly close in athletic abilities, but it is super easy to adapt it for very advanced or intermediate partner possibilities. Also, there's a somewhat excessive amount of cool fitness toys in this one, and that's mainly … [Read more...] about Advanced Partner Workout – It’s Also Scaleable!
